You must complete the Travler's Way quest first. This is the level 11 epic quest for Skalds.

Your trainer in Jordheim tells you he wants the hobyah named Rasczel's nose. He is said to be located in the deep forest near Jordheim.

Go to Fort Veldon, the hobyah's only spawn at night and can be seen from one of the Fort Veldon buildings, just West (loc=41549, 4816 Vale of Mularn).

There are many hobyahs. Rasczel is a named hobyah and Rasczel spawns there but he doesn't always drop his nose. Make sure you get the one named "Rasczel's nose", as there are lots of hobyah noses. (It's been mentioned that you can obtain Rasczel's nose from any hobyahs.)

Went on the zerker quest. Yep. its right next to the fort. It appears they show about 8 or 9 and leave at EXACTLY 6 am. But there is lotsa killing to be done between then. Got about 3 bubs outta that nite. Anyway you get a lvl 12 zerker necklace +6 hits +4 str. Pretty nice item. Easy quest.

1) Go to Fort Veldon north of Jordheim 2) Wait until dark 3) Go west of the merchants/smith in town 4) Watch out for the big angry Vendos. 5) Hang in the periphery (there's a good hill side to use as a lookout post to the south) 6) Wait for Rasczel to spawn 7) Attack him, he will say something like "I have given my nose away to a hobya" Kill Rasczel. 8) Kill any three Hobyas around. The third will drop the nose 9) Go back to Leif in Jordheim and get yur necklace.

wandered around the camps and fort veldon looking for hobya at night. didn't see a single one. lots of rabid wolves, hill cats and other assorted agro, but no hobya. i was there from 10pm night to 5am, but no sign of them. is there an exact local that I should be looking at?

If you read the message that Rasczel says, he tells you that he switched noses with another hobyah so you can't find it. He basically taunts you with this info. And to your comment about why would someone else have his nose, keep in mind they are a form of undead. Switching noses, or any body part for that matter, is as simply as you and me exchanging car keys, or (to be more game related) putting stuff in a trade window and switching items that way. (I did this quest with an alt zerker.)

The quest told me to bring Raczcal's nose to Haaken. I killed Racscal, and he dropped a "hobyah nose" which I brought to Haaken and he told me "I can sniff out a real nose ... this is not Raczcal's nose ..." and my nose disappeared. What gives?? Strangely also, the Berserker trainer who gave me the quest was the troll upstairs in Jordheim. It asked me to bring the nose to Haaken. Anyone else have this experience? I kind of feel ripped off!

The nose you need is called "Raczcals Nose" and is dropped in the area where you found him. The trick is that he does not have his own nose (smile), it is dropped by one of the other hobya. Just kill them till you get the right nose.

Did this quest today. Hobya's are night spawn ghost looking things. I found 'em just south of the merchants at Fort Veldon. Watch for the Bone collectors. They conned orange to me at Lvl 11 and can Paralyze you. Cheers!
